I bought Kelton four
years ago this October, with plans to be showing her
at Training Level the following Spring and perhaps
First Level by the following year. But due to a
variety of issues, it was not to be. However, my
patience has been rewarded and I was able to show
Kelton today at my very first "real" dressage show.
We rode Training Level Test 1 and Test 2 and she was
so good!
Because I've been going easy on her, I didn't ask her to round up as much as maybe I should have, but nevertheless we got the second highest score on Test 1 and the highest score on Test 2, so I can't complain. The judge wrote some encouraging comments, and based on the video I know what we need to work on, so I look forward to continuing to progress. I just hope I don't have to wait another four years to show her again!
I put some stills from the digital video on a photos page for Kelton, and I will add more photos that a friend took later on.
